Personal Injury Lawyers Who Put You First
in New Jersey
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you’re likely dealing with more than just physical pain. Missed work, mounting bills, and ongoing stress can feel overwhelming. Our New Jersey personal injury attorneys are here to help you get the compensation you deserve — and the clarity you need.
We represent injured individuals throughout Bergen County and surrounding areas, with a focus on honest legal guidance and strong, client-first advocacy.
Timing Matters – Don’t Wait to Take Action
New Jersey law limits how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better your chances of building a strong claim. Don’t let important deadlines pass you by.
What Counts as a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury claim arises when someone is harmed because another party acted carelessly, recklessly, or intentionally. We help clients recover compensation in cases involving:
Car Accidents →
From rear-end crashes in Paramus to distracted driving incidents on I-80, we help victims of auto accidents navigate insurance claims, medical expenses, and liability disputes. We also represent clients hurt in rideshare accidents, pedestrian collisions, and multi-vehicle wrecks.
Slip & Fall Accidents→
Slipping on ice, tripping on broken stairs, or falling due to unsafe conditions in stores or public areas can lead to serious injuries. Property owners must keep their spaces safe — and we hold them accountable when they don’t.
Dog Bites & Animal Attacks→
New Jersey law holds dog owners responsible when their animals bite or injure someone. We represent adults and children who’ve suffered serious physical and emotional harm from dog attacks, whether at home, in parks, or in public spaces.
Wrongful Death→
If you’ve lost a loved one due to a preventable accident or negligent act, we can help you pursue justice. We handle wrongful death claims with compassion, supporting families through an incredibly difficult time while protecting their legal rights.
Premises Liability→
Injuries caused by dangerous property conditions — like poor lighting, broken handrails, or lack of security — fall under premises liability. We help clients hold landlords, businesses, and property owners responsible for unsafe environments.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Personal Injury Claim in NJ?
Insurance companies are not on your side. Even when liability seems obvious, they may delay, deny, or undervalue your claim. Having an attorney levels the playing field. We gather evidence, document your damages, and negotiate for a fair settlement — or take the case to court if needed.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
While every case is different, you may be entitled to financial recovery for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses
In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral costs and loss of companionship. We’ll help you understand the full value of your claim and pursue every dollar you’re entitled to under New Jersey law.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in NJ?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury. But there are exceptions, so it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
What if I was partially at fault?
New Jersey follows “comparative negligence” rules. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault — but your award may be reduced.
What if the insurance company already offered me money?
Do not accept or sign anything without legal advice. Early offers are often far less than what your case is truly worth.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We offer free consultations and handle injury cases on a contingency fee basis — no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we recover money for you.
